Jimmy Clark, who has lease on that
building. This morning one carpenter
went into his saloon with long measur-
ing rod, and on being asked what
the devil he wanted there, he in
formed Mr.. Clark that he intended
moving the bar and north wall
of the establishment to-day. Clark at
this piece of information grew very warm
in the proximity of the collar, and made
a declaration before witnesses that he
forbade any work of the kind being done,
and that he also forbade any of them to
bring tools for any purpose of the kind in
his place of business. However, the
workmen closed up the front doors and
commenced their work of tearing down.
Mr.. C.. stands by resignedly watching
the workmen and wondering how far
they intend to go before he will know
from the proper authority what it all
means

Our New Secretary.

There was probably never an appoint
ment made for this Territory which gave
better general satisfaction than that Of
W. G. Hall, President Cleveland's APP
pointee for Secretary. THE DEMOCRAT
expressed its opinion of Mr.. Hall while
the appointment was pending. Now
that the selection has been made it has
nothing to add to what it then said. The
gentleman has too much sense not to
discriminate between sincerely friendly
comment and sycophantic slobber, such
as-well, such as THE DEMTCRAT never
inficts upon newly appointed officials,
with printing patronage to bestow.

DEATH OF PAUL NUcKoLLs
A Young Man, Formerly We'll
known Here, Passes Away.


known Here, Passes Away.
DIR. Fowler, of this city, has received
word from Rosita, Colorado, to the effect
that Paul Nuckolls, formerly of this city,
died there on the 22d inst. No particu-
lars have been received, except that he
was buried by the County Commissioners.
Paul Nuckolls came to this city when
but boy, with his father, the late S. F.
Nuckolls, formerly Delegate to Congress
from Wyoming. He grew to manhood at
the home of mis- parents in the Eighteenth
ward, the residence now owned by Major
Woods. de received a good education
at st. Marks school and the Salt Lake
Collegiate Institute. At just the wrong
time for the welfare of the family, the
father died and was soon followed by the
mother.
From that time Paul began to grow
reckless, and after knocking about the
country for some six years, he has finally
met his death among strangers He
leaves a brother Rupert, who is now
living at Dillon, Montana, where he is
employed in the National bank, and an
other Bruce, who is now on a ranch in
Idaho.
Paul was rs years of age, and left this
city for the last time about two years ago.
lie was young man of intelligence and
more than ordinary brightness, of which,
however, he took but little advantage.
Among the boys and girls (now men
and women) who used to 60 to school
with Paul and who knew the better side
of his character, there will be many fond
memories of his past and regrets that he
can never return to his friends at his old
home.

Bling ma mites.

How Ii Caught on Among the
Binghamites.
Mr.. A. B. Thompson, who left for
Bingham about week ago in the interest
of THE DEMOCRAT, has returned covered
all over with glory. The Binghamites
have long been waiting for THE DEMO
Graf, and when it reached the camp the
reception was royal one. Mr.. Thomp-
son nsed up his receipt book the first day
and was then obliged to use up the one
LETT there in the flight of the last Tribune
canvasser. He took over hundred new
names as subscribers for the paper, and
at the same time more fun than basket
of monkeys. Bingham has treated THE
DEMOCRAT well, and in return the paper
will prove that it is not ungrateful by
giving the thriving camp the attention it
deserves.

(Signed) H. w. HALLEoK,

This victory, the result of vigorous strategy
and bold execution completely subdued the
Indians, who never afterwards were trouble
some in Northern Utah and Southern Idaho.
In recognition of this conduct in the battle
of Bear River, Colonel Conner was promoted
on March 20, 1863, to the rank of Brigadier-
General of Volunteers; he was now noted as
the best Indian fighter in the West. The
news of Colonel Connor's promotion reached
Camp Douglas late at night, and was at
once celebrated by the firing of cannon and
martial music. The sudden demonstration,
breaking out in the night, alarmed the Nor
mons, whose relations with the United
States Government representatives there,
were at that time, in an exceedingly tense
state. They thought it the signal of attack
by the troops upon Salt Lake City;
and rallied at once for defence at Brigham
Young's residence, but in this they were dis
appointed.
General Connor's position in Utah, in view
of the growing bitterness of the Mormons,
required cool judgmen and determined
strength. How he met these difficulties
Is shown by the following circular letter:
Headquarters, DISTRICT OF UTAH,
CAMP DOUGLAS, U. T., March 1, 1864.
Circular: The undersigned has received |
numerous letters of complaint and inquiry
from parties within and without the district |
the former alleging that certain residents |
OF Utah Territory indulge in threats and |
menaces against the miners and others de- |
s1rou5 OF prospecting for precious metals, |
and the latter asking what, if any, protec- /
ton Will be accorded to those coming |
hlther to develop the mineral resources of
the country.
Without giving undue Importance to the
thoughtless words of misguided, preiudiced,
or bad-hearted men who may be guilty of
such threats as those referred to, and in
dulglng IN the hope that they are but indi-
vldual expressions rather than Inenaces. is
sued by any presumed or presumptuous
whatsoever, the undersigned takes
occasion to repeat what no lOyal citizen will
that the Territory is the public
property of the Nation whose wish it is,
that it will be developed at the earliest pos
sibly day, in all its rich resources, mineral
as well as agricultural, pastoral and

Energetic Russell Sare,

If there is a man in New York who is pro-
PEELED by steam it is Russell Sage. When
ho steps out Of his Office upon the street he
goes shooting up, down or across Broadway
as if driven by an unseen and uneasy power.
No one ever saw Mr.. Sage quiet unless when
asleep, and even tbere he probably twists
and jerks like an eel At his Office he re-
ceives q caller with hand mechanically ex-
tended, mechanically pumped and worked at
a rapid rate, and unless the visitor puts in
his time with much CELEBRITY it makes Mr..
Sage crawl all over with apprehension that
q second will be lost. He never sits still in
a chair-in truth, he prefers TO stand.
There Is probably no more miserable man
in New York than Mr.. Sage on the witness
stand. When he had to swear in the elevated
railroad cases he settled into his char as if
the hand of fate had struck him; he held on
to himself as if to keep his soul from flying
from his body, and when he was released he
grabbed his hat, shot out of the court room
and was on his way to his Office as if pursued
by the Evil One. Mr.. Sage takes the elevated
I'D from his Office after business hours, walks
pell nell from the Forty second street sta
ton into Iorty-third street, jumps into his
carriage and is whirled into the street in a
jitfy and off through the park. When he
can't keep il motion any other way he
twitches his facial muscles and nervously
works his hands New York Tribune

POETS OF ONE POEM.
Wolf, Gray, Woodwork, and Payne Re-
membered for a Single Poem.

Wolf, Gray, Woodwork, and Payne Re-
membered for a Single Poem.
An interesting list might be made Of single
poem poets, and an instructive essay be writ
ten on their lives and works Single Speech
Hamilton made many speeches, though but
one has become famous. And Charles Wolf
wrote more than the Burial of Sir John
Moore" yet by this one poem will he always
be remembered. So, too, George Withers'
Shall Wasting in Despair" is only the best
known of a large number of poenls-some of
them quite equal to it, from critical point
OF view, perhaps superior. Shirley would
hardly be remembered by general readers but
for his fine ode, The Glories of Our Blood
and State" Thomas, of Celano, would be
forgotten but for "Dies Irsn," and those great
national hymns, the -Star Spangied Banner"
the "Wacht an Rhein," the "Marseillaise"
and God Save the Queen" may be accounted
famous works of single poem poets.
Many people who talk Of Ben Jonson
would be puzzled to quote a single line except
from his Drink to Me Only With Thine
Eyes and, though Walters name is SO well
known, he is more often recognized as the
writer Of the lines on girdie than on account
of anything else. Thomson's Rule Britannia"
has earned him more fame than his Seasons"
or his epitaph on Newton; and more people
know Gray's "Elegy" than have ever even
read his ODDS" Samuel Wordsworth wrote
"The Old Oaken Bucket" but who wrote
"Bel Bolt" and "The Old Continentalsl"
1t is but seldom that one writer is fortunate
enough TO produce two such well known
pieces is Campbelrs "Hohenlinden" and aye
Mariners of England; while Dibdin, though
he wrote SO much that once was popular,
would be almost forgotten now but for Tom
Bowling" Such list might he greatly pro-
longcd. Lady Ann Lyndsay's "Auld Robin
Gray" William Spencers death of Gelert,"
and Gays ''How Happy Could l be With
Either" might all be cited, and many more;
but enough has been said to show how little
even the best critics can judge Of a poets
powers by single specimen, and how much
accident, if it can SO be termed, Of one happy
line or one good melody may have to do with
tho fame Of writer who would otherwise be
unknown. These remarks apply with greater
force TO song writers than to any other versi-
fiers. A good first line often makes a song,
and still more good tune, without which,
indeed, it would fall comparatively into OBJ
livion. John Howard Payne only wrote the
words, not the melody, Of "Hone, Sweet
Home. Henry Watterson in Courier
journal
